[Dysphagia] outpatient dysphagia therapy

[swlslp at yahoo.com (Sandi Lancaster)]

Just wanted to send out a thank you to the list for
everyone's helpful responses on my question about who
provides the food for outpatient dysphagia therapy.  I
got a lot of responses off-list in addition to the
responses sent to the list.  I got a lot of different
responses - some SLPs are asking patients to bring
food in from home, and some are providing all p.o.
trials through the clinics.  

I think I will plan to typically ask patients to bring
in food from home (which of course is the most
functional since its what they would typically eat)
but I will plan to have a small stockpile on hand of
some "basics" of various consistencies as well.

Thanks to all who responded!

-Sandi
